This refers to technological products or services, a product or idea that does not necessarily have to be new but has been re-invented into a whole new concept or a company where technology plays a vital role in its operations. A company should also have a very high market potential that can in return produce a high return of investment. To make this possible, a company should have a potential market worth $100 million. The investment group is geared toward companies that will become market leaders with over 30% market share within the next five to seven years.

The funding applications of the Launchpad Venture Group usually come from its own members. Others who desire to apply are also welcome to submit their applications and executive summaries online. The group holds a meeting to screen potential investments. A company shall then be chosen and required to submit a business plan prior to its presentation. Every month, the group meets to review two prospective companies. Each company is given 10 minutes to present its business proposal, which will be followed by a panel discussion with the members of the group. A due diligence process comes next which entails series of meetings for a thorough evaluation of the candidate company. After this process, final investment decisions shall be made by the group.
